Simplicity
This bracelet is a lovely complement to the bridal bouquet. It’s perfect for the bride, but also for the bridesmaids, for example. I’m currently working a lot with a 3D printer, which I used to create this bracelet. It’s gold-colored and fits almost any wrist. Dried, golden Mikado buds are attached to this gold bracelet. They will last for years. For the flowers, I chose two beautiful, salmon-colored orchids. All materials on this bracelet are glued using Smithers Oasis cold glue.
Chic headband
In addition to a bridal bouquet, the bride can also wear a floral tiara. This tiara was created using a 3D printer. All fresh flowers are glued directly to the base using Smithers Oasis cold glue. The tiara features various small and delicate materials. It incorporates Talinum ‘Long John’, Madiba chrysanthemums, buds from the Cambria orchid, Hypericum, Phalaenopsis, and dried Mikado buds.
Lady-Round
This mysteriously colored bridal bouquet is arranged on a Smithers Oasis lady-round. The advantage of this is that the flowers don’t dry out. A spiderweb has been created from salmon-colored aluminum wire extending from the lady-round. The flowers can be secured to this frame. Personally, I find this color combination very beautiful: all those burgundy tones with brown and salmon. The arrangement includes Gloriosa, Cymbidium, carnivorous plants, ranunculus, Talinum ‘Long John’, various orchids, chrysanthemums, jasmine vines, and dried Chasmanthium grasses.
Everlasting
This bridal bouquet has a long shelf life because the materials used are dried or freeze-dried. The rose in the center is freeze-dried and constructed using a technique called rosemelia. I used a simple, lightweight bamboo bowl as the base. I drilled a hole in it and glued the center of the rose into place. The outside of the bowl is covered with dried Chasmanthium grasses from Marginpar. I then applied a coat of varnish to it. The stem of the bubble bouquet is made of several thick aluminum wires, which were drilled into the bowl.
Teardrop shape
This bridal bouquet is shaped like a teardrop. The base is 3D-printed and consists of fern-shaped ribbons. The teardrop shape incorporates leaves from Tillandsia ‘Xerographica’ and individual leaves from freeze-dried roses. You can create this base several days before the wedding. Then, on the day itself, all you need to do is attach the fresh materials. Fresh materials used here include: Phalaenopsis ‘Golden River’, Hypericum, ranunculus, and flowers from the Ludisia orchid.
Craspedia heart
A Smithers Oasis bio-foam base was used for this ring pillow. The outer edge is finished with dried Craspedia flowers from Marginpar, strung on wire. These have a long shelf life because they are dried before being arranged. The interior is made with fresh flowers: Limonium cut into short pieces as a base, with ranunculus, Gloriosa, Clematis ‘Kibo’ (feathers), and mini Cymbidium arranged among them. The rings are secured in the center with two pieces of aluminum wire.
